Chapter 840: Chapter 841 Claudia Grows Suspicious

“Mother…” Heather returned to her senses, not realizing that she was being somewhat cautious.

Claudia withdrew her gaze and said in a reassuring manner, “If you don’t like that, Pepper can stay in the backyard. There’s no need to force it.”

Heather let out a subtle sigh of relief and replied, “Mother, thanks for your understanding. However, I will come by often and visit Pepper.”

Claudia hummed in agreement and promptly left. However, she couldn’t help but recall Josie’s earlier words: You used to love dogs when you were little, but you don’t like them anymore after growing up…

Liana loved everything, especially animals. She believed that that would never change even as she grew older as it was something innate.

However, Heather’s expression earlier was that of caution and fear, as well as a certain… disdain.

It was baffling to her that her daughter was showing such emotions.

Claudia suddenly felt a little gloomy, as if something was enveloping her, something she couldn’t break through. She took a deep breath before taking a turn and heading toward the shrine room.

Meanwhile, Heather remained standing in the same spot and took another glance at Pepper, who had a leash attached to it. The dog suddenly barked at her. Feeling startled, the woman patted her chest to calm herself down.

She was gripping the drawing so tightly that she nearly tore a hole in it.

Josie returned to where she came from, only to find that the place was empty, except for the housekeeper, who was cleaning..

She instructed, “Please tell Mrs. Olsen that I’m making a move first.”

The housekeeper nodded respectfully and replied in a gentle voice, “Ms. Warren, someone will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Olsen Residence to send you back.”

Josie was rather surprised to hear that as it was unlike the Olsen family to be that kind.

The rain had stopped and sunlight poured through the clouds. At the entrance of the Olsen Residence, the bougainvillea was blooming vibrantly. Josie narrowed her eyes and walked further down. To a surprise, she saw a Mercedes AMG G 63 parked there.

The license plate of the car was extremely attention-seeking.

Josie’s heart skipped a beat.

It was likely that Moses had driven the car there as he had walked straight toward her after getting out of the driver’s seat. “You should get into the car.”

Josie let out a slight scoff and replied, “I really don’t understand the world of the rich. Where’s his car?”

Moses braced himself and replied, “It’s staying in the Olsen Residence as Ms. Olsen said she liked it.”

Josie pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth and merely replied, “Oh.”

Moses did not dare speak any further.

After taking a deep inhale, Jiang Shu eventually walked over and got into the car.

The faint scent of sandalwood inside the car reminded her of the man’s aura, calm, yet at the same time, exuding a sense of authority.

Without looking at him, she said, “Even the Olsen family’s housekeeper is working for you. Dexter, you’re really something huh?”

No wonder he is always so updated with the news.

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed the man’s gloomy expression. In fact, his expression was so grim. that he looked almost sickly. “One should always be thorough in their actions. For example, if I were you, I wouldn’t have met Arnold in the middle of the night.”

He found out.

Josie had always felt bad toward him when it came to matters concerning Arnold. She stiffened slightly before getting straight to the point, “Where’s Pop?”

Dexter looked up slowly, his gaze landing on her scraped wrist. “When did I ever say I knew where he was?” he replied with a hint of amusement in his voice Josie quickly covered the spot on her wrist that had just been bitten by Pepper and said anxiously, “You clearly said it. Dexter, don’t toy with me. You know how important this is to me.”

Remaining nonchalant, Dexter extended his big cold hand and grasped her wrist firmly before forcefully flipping it over.

His eyes were elongated, which was characteristic of that of a womanizer. However, all they exuded was a powerful sense of oppression. “I do have a lead, but I can’t confirm anything yet.”

“Just tell me what it is, I can look for him myself!” Josie said forcefully, her brows furrowed in frustration., At that moment, she could hardly be bothered about the fact that the man was touching her.

Dexter ignored the woman and took out a band-aid from the storage box before sticking it on her hand.

It was simply impossible to get him to say anything he was unwilling to say.
